[SOLVED] Can't get Desktop to Hide with CF

[maebemae]

I go to the CompizConfig Setting Manager > General Settings > Actions > General > Hide All Windows and Focus Desktops

Then I change the screenedge to Bottom Right.

Then going to the bottom right doesn't do anything. I've changed it multiple times and the setting doesn't seem to save.

I've got bottom left set to Scale, top left set to Expo, and top right set to Widgets Layer. Those all work every time.

When Filtering in the CompizConfig Setting Manager by "desktop," the only running plugins are Enhanced Zoom Desktop and Desktop Cube. Plane, Wall, Fade, and Show are all turned off.

Not sure what the problem is. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Try switching to the Flat-file Backend (in Preferences) - it works here.

hey maebemae,
i agree with the flat file back-end although that shouldn't be that important, however how are you starting fusion?
If using a command make sure you have ccp included; compiz --replace ccp &
Also try changing the screen edge to something like F4 to see if the settings are indeed being saved and this might also suggest that something else is using the screenedge setting you want to use, which means you may have to hunt that down in ccsm

thanks for the responses. i'll give it a shot in a bit.

[maebemae]

that worked.

what does the "ccp" do when starting CF?

thanks.

hey maebemae
The ccp allows the the settings to be saved using libcompizconfig.
Other commands if you use emerald could be;
compiz --replace ccp & emerald --replace.
That command is also used if you use fusion icon to start fusion.
